Your Chance for a Championship Ring

To kick of the NBA championship week, I thought you might like to know about a chance to win a trip to the NBA Finals -- and your own championship ring and belt. Just like Chauncey, Rip and Sheed.

Wolves center Darko Milicic and his wife are holding a raffle for his 2004 NBA championship ring -- and NBA finals game trip -- to raise money for the Zorana & Darko Milicic fund for Children With Life Threatening Diseases.

That raffle was originally scheduled to end a few days ago. But the deadline has been extended to June 3...I'm assuming this means they're hoping to raise some more funds, and that raffle chances may be raffley-decent.

I'm not usually in favor of NBA stars selling off their hardware. But in Darko's case, he might as well...he didn't really contribute, and getting rid of the thing might help him to purge some of his NBA demons. Just like a 7 foot Frodo...only by getting rid of the ring will Darko save Midwest Earth. Equally intriguing is the wrestling-style championship belt...and going to the Finals would be a blast! (I really miss being at games that mean something.)

Here is where you can go to get a raffle ticket, which costs $2. Prices are better the more you get....so get a handful!
